Sean Shakespeare - Bloodline Lyrics

I belong to a bloodline from apart of time
Being chained and enslaved was the life
Momma raised a smart guy so when cops try to get a rise i recite my rights and stay polite
It's sad but im used to a social confusion
Land of the weary wounded
Infuse this with tattered ends of movements we're doomed to believe have been fruitless
I wouldnt want MLK to see us today

'Cause I'm afraid he'd view his sacrifice vein
That would hurt my heart in ways I can't explain
Theres a reason he didnt see a ripe old age.
I'll be damned if I let him and other leaders down
So I climb to the top of my town with my sound
And I strive to be better in the now
Our culture survives it's so vibrant
No shadows can hide it

Real leaders of the people stand tall
The smartest are targets, your knowledge is arson, the flame is the hope of us all
I walk through flames
On a plain of ego and pride
Show no shame
I'm striding with the truth in my eyes
No weaponry could ever shoot my ship from the sky
It's like telepathy the way i learned to float through the rhyme
I etch into the melody a sketch of me you hear to see
Attack the beat
Transcending visual faculty
I'm glad to be able to speak
With my peeps as we plan to build the world the way we see

We the people stand steadfast
We the truth seekers damned outcasted
It happens
We're laughing
'Cause we had it all along
We got along
Progression through passion
We the people stand steadfast
We the truth seekers damned outcasted
It happens
We're laughing
'Cause we had it all along
We got along
Progression through passion

We live life a little strange to the mainstream
Grind with the main team
Rhyme tryna change things
Divided we dissipate
We must assimilate
Traits we nurse to set things straight
Some meditate some prey for the pain
For me they're one in the same. peep game
Leaders of the people stand tall in dark
Your the reason we know where we are
